the best cigarette

the one I steal
from your hand
just as you exhale
looking at me, eyes heavy,
still damp from a shower
wet from your mouth
and your fingers

the best cigarette

the last one
before I leave
as we try to pack
all of us
into those last minutes
unvoiced panic
frantic calm

the best cigarette

filled with longing
filling this space
in my chest when I am
without you
I needing to touch you
I needing to know
you are here

the best cigarette

one final drag
I crave
that last hit
to see me through
it looks like us and
tastes like you
